All Comments on 'Lydia's Mother'

Loved it thank yoy

Is this ending without suggestion of a continuation intentional? There's no indication that there's more to come. In this case, leaving an opening ending like this works. Good story, good description of the characters and generally well written. Some of your descriptive words are repeated and if you take another glance through, you'll find some errors that should be corrected. Don't use asterisks to emphasize words, use italics. Dashes have their uses, but you over-use them and improperly use them to break up sentences. The punctuation in the dialog is not consistent. Should be ." and not ". Avoid "explaining" things using parenthesis such as (his) and (hers) when describing what they're reading. There's a bunch of ways to go about that differently. These are small issues in and of themselves, but enough of them in a single story can turn readers away.

Superbly writing with tenderness between mother and daughter.

Loved it, but please give us a second chapter.

So many possible scenarios:

Lydia confronts Caroline, and they get together,

Josh finds Caroline in the bath, and then they get together,

or even just another chapter of Caroline being a voyeur and watching them over and over, until she joins in with them.
